Vegasaur -- Ghost?

Vegasaur -- Ghost?

Something I just noticedOn some of the slides, I replaced the video file.... it flickered between the video file I'm using... and the one that was there originally. (hence the ghost)....

Vegas Crashing - crisis

I will try rolling back the driver as well. I'm going to do another reinstall into a new drive in the next few weeks so I may wait until then,  

Vegas Crashing - crisis

As astar asked previously, what GPU? (and what driver version for it?) My Graphic card is GeForce GT630Driver Version 22.21.13.8205

Vegas Crashing - crisis

OK.I ran a render of the full file with GPU turned off... and it finished without a hitch. Now that's not to say there's a solution because it did that once before and then started acting up again. But I'm recalling when I disabled GPU before it solved my problem, so I'm hoping that's what is it.This is an older PC (At least 6..maybe even 10 years),and I want to upgrade eventually, but it still works well. I did a memory test and it passed.

And the beat goes on. Thought i was ok but...I needed another render. So fired it up and.... again...it gets to 99% complete then crashes. 3 times. So I took Friar's advice and decided to render in 3 sections. While doing that I went to Nick's link (thank you Nick) and looked at trouble shooting.I've hesitated to render in chunks before just because I was concerned about missing frames. What I came up with and think I will implement in the future is to overlap each chunk by a minute or so... and let PlarelEyes sync. IT was flawless. The first 2 chunks rendered without an issue. The third one crashed, just like the big render. Going through the trouble shooting I realized, this is a new install of VP13 and I THINK I remember having problems before with GPU enabled. I disabled that, Now I'm putting my chunks together and once that's done (and I have a deliverable product) I'm going to try the big render again and see if that works.Once everything is done I'll report back again (maybe this will help someone in the future).

and just to let you know....it IS running... at 74% now. The progress bar moving.. So it's not frozen.

Vegas Crashing - crisis

Well this is interesting. I'm so exhausted I can't even be mad. 4 jobs today... I'm bear, Before I left I set the job to render again. Last time it took... I think maybe 40 minutes ?? but I left muted a track I meeded... so I unmuted and rendered with the exact same paramaters...came home.,, sat down and.....Tlapsed time - 12:20:15Time left 04:32:22I'm not even going to ask.,,, I'm just going to bed. Report back tomorrow. :-D

Have you checked for a heat problem. Clean out the vents and fans or even open the side of the computer.   Yes,,, I keep my desktop open and blow it out refularly  

Vegas Crashing - crisis

OK I was able to get a render off. Here are some more detailsDrive crasjed last week so I had a fresh instasllall of the data files were on an external drive and safeVegas is now on the new C drive with the OS (win 10)I'm using New BlueFX Titler Pro3 for some tutling and effectsThis is a video of highlights from a conference, so there are a lot of clips and editingThis is version 3 ( to give an idea of how much editing m,ay be involved. I'm not sure how to give details without getting crazy)This particular project frequently crashesI rebooted several timesI was rendering MP4 1080 30fps, Tried 720, and even the Internet NTSC widescreen....still crashedI WAS going to try rendering in chunks to see if I could isolate a particular problem area.I was rendering to the external driveI decided to try rendering to the desktop (C drive) and that seemed to go through without a crash!!!!!There was a track muter that should not have been.... so I'm going to give it another test and hopefully I can get consistent rendersThanks for the help. I will report back later!!!

Uploading Vegas 13 from Sony ?

It seems the redirects are only for the last release. Older releases download. I suspect it's all to get you to buy the lastest version.Thanks for the links

Uploading Vegas 13 from Sony ?

I called the Magix support hotline and got:"CURRENTLY ALL OF OUR LINES ARE BUSY> PLEASE TRY AGAIN LATER"I am NOT a fan of Magix right now at all. Going to start looking at Adobe Premiere (I just hate the idea of a subscription  

Uploading Vegas 13 from Sony ?

THANKS.I wonder how long that will be available. I'll save the file, but I really just loved being able to go online and download(and have the SN) available right there. It seems to work for older versions.

Partition Hard Drive ?

Out side of the back up issue John mentioned, is there any performance value to partitioning ?as I mentioned, Plaurel Eyes wants the data files on the same drive as the OS and program, so I'm thinking...just one partition for the rive.  

Trying to fit onto a DVD

I wanted to report back. MY problem was fixed...but not a real solutiom, I realized I had used the entire file for Act 1 as the DVD menu background image. That ate up my space. Once I cut that down from a 40 minute file to about 3-4 minutes.. I had plenty of room (about 80% usage). So I was able to print.I will keep thise notes for when I really do run into a space problem.THANK YOU ALL!!!

Trying to fit onto a DVD

<SIDE NOTE> David-Tu...why did it cost you $29.95??? Does sony/magix charge for service??

Trying to fit onto a DVD

OK I changed the minimum to .191 in OPTIONS. It's rendering now... the question is.... how crappy is it going to be? This is a concert... so they want good quality. It's still calculating time which makes me think it's going to take quite a while to render. I will go do some more work and report back

Trying to fit onto a DVD

OK, I" M Going to try these things. I tried the CTRL & SHIFT and it did nothing, No dialogue box. just opened as usual. Maybe because I 'ave DVDA 6.0 and/or Win 10?Here's what I get now. As you can see the bitrate is quite low. When I click FIX DISK nothing happens. It just ignores me. Really hurts my feelings....If I click OK it just takes me back here....

Trying to fit onto a DVD

It's not letting me prepare, so I can't go any further.

Track Motion..moving events

So...if they are outside of the event...we have chaos?

Track Motion..moving events

That may be the problem. I often put them outside the events (kind of like placeholders) I'll try placing them inside. Thanks!!

Vegas Video Credit Rolls 3rd party

Yeah,, that's what I've been doing. But I want something a lot more flexable with more options
